James Starman, M.D., Joins OrthoCarolina

James Starman, M.D., a shoulder and knee specialist, has joined the OrthoCarolina practice. After graduating magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame, Dr. Starman attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and then completed an internship, residency, and research fellowship at the Carolinas Medical Center. He then completed a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Virginia.

“As our company continues to expand we strategically look for physicians to fill specific roles and needs in the regions and communities we serve,” said Cathie McDonald, Chief Operating Officer, OrthoCarolina.

Dr. Starman told OTW, “As I work to establish my new practice, I think it is important to take the time to establish relationships with potential partners in the community. Specifically, as a sports medicine physician, to reach out to local high school trainers and coaches, and create opportunities to highlight my skill set and provide educational events. One event I am working on currently is an educational program for high school students interested in a career in orthopaedics, whether as a surgeon or other member of the medical team. We are partnering with local schools, implant companies, and various sponsors to develop this event, with a goal of involving around 100 local students for a hands-on seminar about a career in orthopaedics.”
